Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi I work in a toxic building at a public utility. I am in a cube with flourscent lights and get chronic lung and sinius infections. I have mentioned this to our union, my supervisor and building maintence.. they said they can do nothing unless others complain- everyone seems " afraid " to complain. I do not know how to take care of myself in this situation- aside from calling the news station. I called osha and they said there is nothing they can do as long as the company is " trying " to resovle the problem. they have been working with the HVAC system for over a year and it doesn't seem to help. additionally.. we seldom have hot water in the restroom- I have asked my boss to move my cube to a more " scent free " area- as many colonges and perfurmes are here- i dont have the energy to keep figthing this system. my biotoxin test shows high expsoure- and some may be to my home enviroument.. but at least I can open the windows there. i need help- and dont have alot of energy to make alot of changes- i have tried fighting this Pacific Gas and Electric company for fresh air- last year we were exposed to a " sewer pump " break- that took weeks to fix so sewer fumes were coming up the drains in the bathroom and the hvac was spreading them everywhere- i got really sick with 102 fevers off and on for a few months- that is a little better know- but we have a moth problem ..so something isn't working right in this building- people are ALWAYS coughnig and sneezing. i am so depressed- i spend all my " good " energy (also have cfids/lyme) comgin to work and there is nothing left of me for myself. please help- thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
